'As a general rule,' he added, 'you can assume that some new characters are always critical to anything that's going to have story in it, for sure. And I want to feel like if I've done stuff in the DLC then it does matter be it loot or experience or knowledge or information or something new that I saw - a new creature or something - those are all the kinds of things you want to see in downloadable content, because what they do is enrich the overall tapestry, which again ties to our idea that you are playing as Hawke - your character and your followers have that same consistency all the way through.' 'For me, the core goal of DLC is to deliver an experience that integrates very smoothly with the game, one that feels like it works no matter when I'm playing so I don't have to start a brand new game - I want to be able to load a save near the end or almost at the end. 'It's actually hard to say because we've only seen very few examples. 'With DLC it's tricky: what exactly constitutes a DLC 9/10?' asked Laidlaw. But whereas Mass Effect 2 DLC gained momentum, culminating in a 9/10 for Lair of the Shadow Broker, the add-ons for Dragon Age petered out, with Witch Hunt scoring 6/10. A big focus for us is to make sure we get it right and we make sure it's, honestly, a beefier experience than the Origins DLCs and one that introduces something new to the Dragon Age game.'Дragon Age: Origins received seven downloadable add-ons: The Stone Prisoner, Warden's Keep, Return to Ostagar, The Darkspawn Chronicles, Leliana's Song, The Golems of Amgarrak and Witch Hunt.

But we'll be announcing more of that as we get closer to locking it down. 'We don't have a solid date on we certainly have some more in the works. 'Some feedback we caught out of Origins was that while people liked Leliana's Song, where you primarily played as her, they wanted their Warden to be a part of that story.' 'We're going to keep it very focused on your character ,' DAII lead designer Mike Laidlaw told Eurogamer. BioWare has more Dragon Age II downloadable content besides Exiled Prince and Black Emporium 'in the works' - and we're promised 'beefier' experiences than were offered for Dragon Age: Origins.
